Aircraft systems integrator the Marshall Group has delivered the last of five C-130J Super Hercules aircraft to the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF), marking the culmination of a multimillion pound upgrade and enhancement programme.
The most substantial work package undertaken included decommissioning the aircraft from their previous service within the UK’s RAF fleet. The integration of state-of-the-art avionics and installation of capability enhancements was also undertaken.
“Fielding these five C130J Super Hercules aircraft with a range of sophisticated upgrades will ensure the BAF’s mission-readiness to support UN peacekeeping and humanitarian missions around the world,” said Marshall Chief Growth Officer Bob Baxter.
“The BAF-Marshall relationship perfectly exemplifies the collaborative spirit and commitment to shared interest than underpin the growing UK-Bangladesh relationship,” added Saida Muna Tasneem, High Commissioner of Bangladesh to the UK and Ireland. “The work performed here in Cambridge will directly support us in fulfilling our operational commitments for decades to come”.
All five aircraft are now in active service with the BAF, with Marshall scheduled to deliver further modifications in the near future. Additionally, Marshal will also provide ongoing global engineering support, supply chain and logistics management, spare parts procurement and provision for training.
